The Comptroller and Auditor General’s State Finances – 2023-24: Decadal Analysis presents Telangana as one of India’s strongest revenue-generating States, with disciplined borrowing, robust tax mobilisation, and sustained growth during the BRS regime.

Telangana borrowed Rs 45,900 crore in six months of 2025-26, reaching 85 per cent of its annual limit, while revenue collection lags. Experts warn of a possible fiscal crisis within three years if corrective measures are not taken

The Congress government’s claims of paying Rs 6,000–7,000 crore monthly as interest on loans taken during the previous BRS regime have been contradicted by official data. The CAG report reveals average monthly interest payments of around Rs 2,300 crore, totalling Rs 9,355 crore in the first four months of FY 2025–26, just 48% of the annual budgeted estimate.

BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan raised concerns over Telangana’s fiscal health, pointing to a concerning CAG report that shows the state's borrowings have already outpaced its revenue in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. He questioned the government's ability to meet its election promises and urged for a shift toward economic vision and tangible leadership.

"If the Chief Minister could spell "rejuvenation" correctly, without checking the spelling, I am willing to gift him with the bag," BRS working president KT Rama Rao offered
